Halloween was just here and what would it be without pumpkin??? So here's a recipe that I tried and that everyone loved! It's also healthier and low fat!
Ingredients:
Pumpkin Puree - 1 small can (15 oz) - make sure it has no sugar added
Fat free milk - 2.5 - 3 cups (depending on how many bread slices you are using)

Raisins - 1/4 cup
Walnuts - 1/4 cup
Dried Blueberries - 1/4 cup
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Kahlua French Vanilla - 3-5 tsp (depending on taste) - if you want to go alcohol free, use 2 tsp of vanilla extract
Method:
1. Empty the can of pumpkin puree into a large bowl. Add the milk, egg substitute, brown sugar, spices, salt, kahlua (or vanilla extract) and whisk until smooth.
2. Tear the bread slices into small cubes and add to bowl.
3. Add dried fruits and nuts
4. Fold ingredients gently and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
